Future children = fetuses than will become children when they are born.

foetuses are not children, future or otherwise....they will develop into children by the time they are born...

I'm pro-life in all forms - anti-abortion and anti-death penalty. I don't believe any human of any description has the right to take a life, except in self-defense.

I sometimes wonder, however, that it might be odious to deny women to make their own choice, and choice is what democracy and freedom is built on. Then again, in 99% of cases, women make the choice to get pregnant themselves, however unknowingly.

i'm pro-abortion, i actually had a g/f from a while ago who got pregnant and i encouraged her to get an abortion and she said she wouldn't of done it if i didn't help talk her into it, seemed more like logic to me - she was 14 and i was 16, who the **** needs a kid at that age?
